fuck minigames

>>714934786
>anon says, ranking the title with more minigames and extraneous bullshit above the one with less

>>714935050
3 lets you do less of them than 2 you tardo
2 is a series of hallways with minigames attached
you look like pic rel

>>714935693
3 forces you to play as chuds who are about 5% to play as Spyro to even beat the goddamn game. Also nuh-uh, and you look like pic rel

>>714935693
NTA, but 3's level design makes it so every level effectively must just be a circle. Plus NPCs leaving the level make it feel emptier, and not in a way that 1 does well in contrast.

2 is the best. As a kid I would blast one of the cowlicks up to where Romeo and Juliet were in Zephyr as like a parting gift.

>>714934358 (OP)
Correct.
>1 has the most soul to it, the best music, the best level design, overall the time Insomniac was the most experimental so difficulty curve is like a rollercoaster but more concepts are introduced to keep things fresh, exploration is at its best and atmosphere is fantastic
>2 is probably technically the most solid all around, refines the controls a bit, NPCs and side missions are hit or miss, bosses are finally better
>3 tried to do multiple things and has difficulty making sure all of them land, some of those most vehicles segments and overall easy, but still has soul and variety, level design is a bit weak, bosses are probably at their best

I wish there were more games like Spyro 1. I replay that game pretty much every year.
I never got around to playing the sequels until I was an adult and I was so disappointed.

I really like Spyro 1 and Ratchet 1

2 > 1 > 3 for me.
1 gets too repetitive by the end and I like 2's OST more

>>714934358 (OP)
based and correct

>Spyro 1
Pure platforming and exploration. No dumb minigames, no backtracking, just platforming. It had a lot of very large and open levels, mostly to emphasize the graphics engine letting you see things far away with no render fog, which was brand new at the time. It's simple and easy, but that's the beauty of it. It's just a fun and simple game where just exploring the levels and platforming is fun in its own right.

>Spyro 2
They tried to change things up by making all the levels revolve around completing objectives. Almost all the levels are way more linear. Not to say that Spyro 1 didn't have any linear levels, but in Spyro 2, almost every single level is very linear, and the focus on platforming/gliding long distances is gone. They also added in a whole host of minigames, most of which are tedious or boring or both. Also introduced forced backtracking, making you wholly unable to complete a level on the first visit, forcing you to come back later when you've unlocked the required powerup.

>Spyro 3
Pretty much doubled down on the changes Spyro 2 made. The levels are now very VERY linear, and in addition to more minigames, we now have a cast of alternate playable characters that are all slower/more boring to play than Spyro. At this point the devs admitted they were running out of ideas, hence why the minigames are blatantly ripped off from other popular PS1 games at the time.

Spyro 2 and 3 aren't bad at all, they're just noticeably worse than the first game. If we ever get a proper "Spyro 4", I'd really want it to be based around the first game, but I highly doubt that will happen since normies would complain that the game is "empty" and "has nothing to do" if it's not filled with stupid minigames.

>Equinoxe Digital Entertainment
>Check Six Studios

Why did Universal choose two amateurish teams to be the developers of this game?

>>714939576
soulless executives that want maximum profit for minimum effort, at a time when videogames were still largely viewed as a "kid thing for kids" and quality was rarely taken into consideration

>>714939576
why do you keep posting this every day

>>714939576
At least the Crash one was developed by an experienced team (Traveller's Tales)

>>714934358 (OP)
1 is so much easier to play as adult.

Even as a kid I didn't like the other characters. At least in 1 it's just the dragons talking to you.

>>714935935
nuh uh you just hate them cuz you can't fuck them while i can
also you look like this and sound like this

>>714939576
Unironically enjoy this. It still feels like classic Spyro, just a really short and half-baked one, and I like the level themes with stuff like the honey swamp with redneck gators and Arabian Nights world with friendly thieves. It's more fun than AHT and especially the reboot games.

>>714934786
3 has minigames too
>>714934358 (OP)
the only thing 3 really has going for it is the fact it's cool the guys come out of the portals to help you. the map design in 2 and 3 is so much weaker than 1

>>714939576
they figured the IP alone would sell the game to retarded children

>>714940125
It worked on me, when I was a retarded child. I was so unbelievably hype for a new Spyro game on the new Gamecube, only to play through the entire game in a single afternoon and be like "....wait, that's it? nine levels? What the fucking shit?"

Twinsanity is the better game

>>714940559
You gave me PTSD to that shitty gameboy game.

>>714940349
wait seriously, only 9 levels? There were 29 levels plus the homeworlds in spyro 1, 26 plus homeworlds in ripto's rage and 33 plus homeworlds in year of the dragon

Are the GBA spyros any good? I've started playing the GBA crash games and it's been pretty decent so far

>>714940559
AHT is bland as balls, but at least it isn't depressing to experience like Twinsanity.

>>714940916
the levels are pretty big and it basically requires you to 100% each level before you can go to the next one. of course, the game was rushed and is fairly poorly made.

>>714940969
They're pretty decent, not phenomenal. Season of Ice can be frustrating on account of not having level checkpoints or a map, and the level design is a little rough because it was their first attempt at trying to transplant Spyro gameplay into an isometric style, but those issues were rectified for Season of Flame and the level design was tightened up. Attack of the Rhynocs pretty much plays the same but is more of an open world structure where you have to revisit previous levels. idk, I liked 'em.

>>714940969
the GBA spyro games are isometric and are on a tiny screen, which tends to make it incredibly hard to navigate and gliding puzzles are basically just guesswork. they're not what I would call good, but they're at least playable. crash benefits from the fact that the 3D games did have 2D sidescrolling segments, so it was trivial to convert that to the GBA.

Do the SpongBob games compare favorably?

>>714941450
Didn't play rehydrated, but Cosmic Shake is on par with BFBB.

>>714941450
The movie game was pretty good too.

>>714940984
What do you mean by this? Twinsanity is funny, fast paced and still great to replay every so often.
AHT was good, like a middle ground between the lighthearted PS1 era and more serious LoS games. Sparx and Hunter were fun to play but blinx and sgt byrd padded the game's length.
I mostly remember the tone being so mixed, like some darker vibes in certain levels but campy dialogue in between.
Ineptune for example had this odd video gamey dialogue, then when you beat her she's just floating dead in the water.

2 > 3 > 1
@ me

>>714939707
>he's never seen an obsessive autist
wait until you hear about the pac-man in smash guy

Reignited was a fine remake. Even with the uglier shit like some of the stuff in YotD, it was more appealing to look at and more faithful to the look of the original games than N. Sane was.

>>714942574
Twinsanity functions but it's still 20% of a game and can't even remotely hide it. I didn't like any of that Invader Zim humor they tried to do back then.
AHT isn't bad, it's just whatever. It does what it needs to do.

>>714936467
2 is pretty good but I like 1 more just because of how much better paced it is for a completionist run. 2 requires backtracking to levels because some orbs are restricted by powerups you can only get in later worlds, where Spyro 1 allows you to 100% every level the first time you go in.

1 is so good, I love how the enemies look

>>714944748
the low poly really let your imagination run wild

>>714941450
spongebob games are actually good and I'm kind of surprised big daddy nickelodeon actually lets the devs take their time with it since everything else spongebob related has been milked to shit

>>714943878
Reignited had better lighting than NST but that's really the only thing it does better. The new character and enemy designs are terrible, and that level of shit bled into Crash 4 as well

>>714934358 (OP)
2 is the best because it has home...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJxAdd0sYZ8&

>>714944912
Why do people say this like it's an Atari game? Especially with something as beautiful as Spyro? It's a funny big-nosed wizard. Like what else are you seeing here?

>>714945043
cozy aesthetics, dogshit theme.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KI5kjPMock
easily my favorite homeworld theme

>>714945225
some kind of googly-eyed plant motherfucker with a yam on its face

>>714945225
Either a bird man with a beak or just an ambiguous muppet cartoon person, but definitely not a straight up white-skinned human being like the remake portrays.

>>714945225
I always thought the balloonists were crabs because I read the gloves as claws and they looked like mr. krabs.

>>714945385
>>714945621
Well aside from the yam thing these are perfectly sane. The only enemy I didn't parse out back then were the Colossus yaks and it was just me thinking the goatee was their nose because you can't idle close to them.

>>714945849
I like to think they're friendly gnorcs, they look very similar to the enemies from the Gnorc Cove world.

I had a dream where the Reignited got an update that added a feature in the title screen that allowed you to switch Hunter's design back to the original but updated with newer tech, just Hunter specifically for some reason

NA NA NA NA

>>714945621
>>714945991
Conversely, it took me until the remake to realize that the shepherd enemies from Artisans were supposed to be humans all along, that they have a long pointy nose and not a big beak. You can tell because they're the only enemies across all three games which recognizably speak English and their hands and feet are textured to represent fingers and toes.

>>714946310
see, I thought THESE guys were wizards that just hit you with a stick instead of doing magic, as like a subversive gag

I liked Spyro 1 and 2. I stop caring about Spyro 3 halfway through every time.

Just wanted to get that out there

>>714946469
I like that 3 brought back the dream like atmosphere for some of its levels but it suffers the same issue 2 does: levels are linear and too much emphasis on side content

>>714946469
>I stop caring about Spyro 3 halfway through every tim
Spyro 3 is incredibly rushed and it shows which kills a lot of the fun

>>714947078
I don't even agree, but it's a shame she got so little art in the wake of Reignited. People usually eat up bunny girls, I wonder if everybody around that point wasn't just bored of the glut of Judy Hopps and nu-Lola Bunny content.

>>714939669
This. The same as WoC, they rushed it out the door and thought very little of the kids who were going to buy it. If there's any game that needs a remake, it was EtD. A lot of decent ideas and classic gameplay plagued by deadlines and glitches.

>>714934358 (OP)
It took a while to appreciate what 1 has over the other two, which is atmosphere, emphasis on platforming and your pacing not being interrupted by minigames. A Hero's Tail tried to have a healthy balance of the last two but it still didn't nail it.

EtD was never gonna be good. It was pure misery for everybody day one.

>>714934358 (OP)
I love the first Spyro. It's a very competent 3d platformer. I really didn't enjoy 2. The one thing that stuck with me was that water level where you need the climb ability to get the last stuff. But it's just arbitrary. You don't use the climbing ability in the mini game, I think, that you gain access. It's really just a way to pad the game and force players to revisit the level. It's so boring.

It makes me so fucking mad we couldn't have good spyro games i just want to start punching the fucking wall rapid fire everything is LAME

>>714934358 (OP)
no faggot its
2-1-3
3 is pretty much dlc 2 but reusing shit from 2
and 2 is just 1 but better

>>714943878
the crash remake was shit the controls of one was so bad I just stopped playing it

>>714949703
I crazy how activsion
had both spyro and crash remakes doing well selling shit loads and just stop
wouldn't you just get toys for boy to doing one game then the other ever year till the well dryed up

>>714934358 (OP)
yeah i agree.

>>714949703
I thought there was rumours that toys for bob were making a spyro 4. I wonder what happened to that

2 fucking sucks ass and the only ones hyping it up are stockholmed nostalgia boomers. no one in his right mind would like it today

>>714943362
Who's that?

They're all good games though

Even reignited is fine if you don't have original hardware or want to be a good little consoomer and avoid emulation. I still have a ps1 and all 3 games but the disc hatch is broken and the cds don't spin properly but that still counts as a legit PS1 bios and legal copies of the games so sony can suck my balls

>>714934358 (OP)
I'm a 1 > 3 > 2 man myself. But ironically 2 is the one I play the most because double jump is the greatest unintended feature in any game ever, despite having my least favorite soundtrack, theming or aesthetics of the trilogy.
The power of gameplay bayhbee.

>>714934358 (OP)
1 >>> 3 > 2
Both 2 and 3 are way inferior to 1, but if I had to choose between latter two I'd go for 3 any day.

>>714934358 (OP)
I honestly think I prefer 3 to 2 these days but yes 1 is easily the best one

Asthetics and music put 1 at the top for sure, but i like the minigames, unlockable powers and other characters to play as. Variety is nice, there's only so many times finding the exact right point to glide across the entire map and get the last dragons or gems can be done before getting old. Halfway through magic crafters is when spyro 1 feels like a slog to me
